Privacy
Policy Statement
Last
Updated: April 11, 2008
Top-Resume-Tips.com strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail
address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this
privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address
to any unauthorized third party. Period.
How
we gather information from users
How
we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting,
the activities in which you elect to participate and the services
provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you
register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain
features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may
provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests,
message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, our company also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and
hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may
store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site.
As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information
through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us
with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to
accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain
portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and
password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s
features according to your preferences.
What
we do with the information we collect
Like
other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your
privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated
Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be
used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your
usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to
help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are
visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated
Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners. Again, this information does not include any
Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually.
We
may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
Top-Resume-Tips.com and our company web sites to communicate with you
about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of
Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
Top-Resume-Tips.com and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally
Identifiable Information collected by Top-Resume-Tips.com and our company
web sites may also be used for other purposes, including but not
limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of
e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests,
and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service for example) may access such information. We will use your
information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as
we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose
your information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with
the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement
authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note
we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated
sites, linked sites and advertisements
Top-Resume-Tips.com and our company web sites expect its partners, advertisers and
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that
third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and
other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own
privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame of
content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also,
through our company web sites you may be introduced to, or be able to
access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes
offered by other parties. Top-Resume-Tips.com is not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While
on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some
of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example,
some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include
cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site
may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or
other technology to gather information. Top-Resume-Tips.com does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such
third parties.
You
should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of Top-Resume-Tips.com and this policy.
Children
Top-Resume-Tips.com does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law.
If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13
in violation of this policy, we will delete that information
immediately. If you believe Top-Resume-Tips.com has any information from
or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the address listed below.
Log
Files
As
with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log
files. The information in the log files include
your IP (internet protocal) address, your ISP (internet service
provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our
site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our
site and which pages you visited throughout our site.
Cookies and
Web Beacons
We
do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences
when you visit our site. This could include only showing you
a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our
features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements on site.com to support our
site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as
cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will
also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense
program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser
you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash
installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes
(showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example)
or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing
cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
You
can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party
cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in
programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how
you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This
could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as
logging into forums or accounts.

Changes
to this Policy
Top-Resume-Tips.com reserves
the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page
periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following the
posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be
used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the
information was collected.
This
statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended to and do
not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any
party.
